Crab beignets

Recipe of the Day: Crab Beignets 😍 Unlike the traditional sweet beignets you know and love, these savory beignets get their subtle sweetness from fresh crab. They’re packed with so much flavor, slightly textured from the cornmeal and delicately fried to a golden crisp. When you pair them with your favorite dipping sauce, you won’t be able to get enough.

Crab Beignets are fun and tasty, and to me, good with a creamy dipping sauce or a really spicy salsa or even Rosemary Honey Hot sauce. #itlooksgoodtastesgreat #food #foodporn #foodie #foodlover #foodoftheday #foodpics #feedfeed #eatfamous #lovefood #noleftovers #recipe #cooking

The beignet batter thinly coats a creamy, warm crab filling with a crispy, light crust. The batter is loose and can be tricky to shape at first; keep frying and practicing, and they'll improve with each batch.These are ideally eaten while still very hot, so make them while enjoying aperitifs in the kitchen.
